INTRODUCTORY.
THIS volume comprises nine Court Rolls of the Borough of Colchester, ranging between 1310
and 1352. Each Roll represents one municipal year — Michaelmas to Michaelmas. The
Bailiffs (two) who were the Chief Magistrates — Colchester had no Mayor until 1635 — were
elected by the Four-and-Twenty of the town, that is the Council, generally on the Monday
foUowng the Nativity of the Virgin (Sept. 8). The Bailiffs were to be " sufficient men, of good
conversation, the most loyal and the most profitable of the community." Each received £3 a year
and a thirty-shilling robe. They took office on Michaelmas Day, for one year, and presumably they
presided over the Courts.
These nine Court Rolls are all that remain for this period of 42 years— Michaelmas 13 10 to
Michaelmas 1352. The other 33 rolls are lost. A brief summary of them from 1327 onwards, giving
the names of burgesses admitted, wills registered, and leases, &c., enrolled, appears in the Red
Parchment Book (Oath Book) of the town. Of the Court Rolls of Colchester, from 1310 to Michael
mas 1741, about 250 are preserved. The record of them is approximately as follows : —
Couri Rolls Preserved. Lost.
1310 to 1400-1 31 60
1401 to 1500-1 51 49
1501 to 1600-1 82 18
1601 to 1700-1 50 50
1701 to 1740-1 36 4
Total 250 181
Unluckily some of the lost rolls represent years of special importance and excitement — this
may account sometimes for their disappearance — but the surviving remnant is a 'fairly big in-
heritance, representing as it docs 58 per cent of these annual records, extending over 431 years.
What are left are a sufficiently formidable collection to pubHsh. There are nine years — out of 250
— in this volume. The remaining unpublished rolls are more than enough to fill thirty or forty or
even fifty volumes like the present one, for many of the subsequent Court Rolls are far more
voluminous.
The two most important Books of Record of the Borough of Colchester have already been
transcribed, translated, and published in full, each with an adequate index— namely " The Red
Paper Book " (1902) and " The Oath Book or Red Parchment Book " (1907). The Charters of the
Borough, translated (like the present Court Rolls) by Mr. Isaac Herbert Jeayes, were published in
full in 1904. Many of the Rolls in this volume are stained, faded, or mutilated, and their tran-
scription has required great skill and experience. Mr. Jeayes is to be congratulated on the efficiency
and the thoroughness with which he has accomplished his task. Mr. Jeayes has set right several
small errors— some of which are not unimportant— in Mr. Harrod's rather brief and no doubt some-
what hasty survey of these Rolls {Report on the Records of the Borough of Colchester, 1865).
''» '■•liHilii|. 111.' iiiiMi,a(ion o\ \]w Courl l^oUs— which roiivoscnt but a jmall portion of the
\l\ilMil'li'.linl t'oipin;\tion Ki-roul'.- the CoUhcsti-v Town Council begins a long and laborious journey.
It must not bo assumed that all the subsequent Court Rolls will be published, as these are, in
extenso. But there will be no question, amongst antiquaries and students, that it is worth while
to give these earlier records, at any rate, in full. The details are petty for the most part, but
they have their value and significance and any curtailment would almost nullify that value. How
far future volumes can be issued on the same scale as the present one, must depend partly on the
support which is given to this publication.
The Court Rolls explain themselves. They are a record of the more important " Town Business "
in early days and they are the clerk's statement of all fees and fines received. It will be seen that
occasionally they record " a full assembly of the Burgesses " to decide some matter of importance ; but for
the most part the business of the Court was judicial.
All sorts of " trespasses " were dealt with— assaults, encroachments, and petty misdemeanours — and
actions for the recovery of debts were numerous. The chief Courts were, of course the Law Hun
dreds — held three times a year, viz., on the Monday after Michaelmas, the Monday after Hilary, and
the Monday after Hokeday. Hokeday was, I think, the third Monday after Easter, though there
is some slight doubt as to whether it was not (at any rate in some localities) the second Monday
after Easter.
The Hundred Courts were also held on Mondays, generally two in each month, with an interva^
of 14 days between the two. The Courts of " Pleas " were held on all days of the week, even on
Sundays, though this was very exceptional. They were seldom (in the fourteenth century) held on
Thursday or Saturday. Often these Courts of Pleas seem to have been of the Piepoudre Court
order, arranged for speedy settlement of cases. Thus on Monday, June 21, 1311, a Court was held
in the morning, another in the afternoon, and another at vespers ; and a further Court was held
the next morning (Tuesday).
The volume of litigation and its variety are surprising, having regard to the presumably moder-
ate population of the borough, possibly about 3,000 to 4,000 at this period. The amount received in
fees and fines was considerable, when the 14th century value of money is considered. The pro
fessional " attorneys " and the more or less professional " pledges," who reappear with great regu-
larity, must have made a fairly good business out of the litigious and turbulent folk of Colchester.
It would also seem that at the Law Hundreds the presentments of millers, bakers, women-
brewers, and of certain others for various delinquencies — all mulcted with monotonous regularity — seem
to have been rather a matter of form and at the same time a method of revenue. Similar fines
were exacted by the Abbot of St. John in his Colchester manors of Greensted and West Donyland.
It will be observed that Colchester was governed and regulated on the manorial system. Legal
terms and other points of difficulty have been annotated. The special interest of these early Court
Rolls as elucidating the origin of surnames is dealt with in an article in the Essex Review (April,
1921).
Much might be said on many other points of interest in these Court Rolls as illustrations of
life and manners in the Middle Ages and of the progress of local government. The elucidation of
the various place-names is of much local interest. This must be left till a subsequent volume,
when I hope that a fairly complete map of mediaeval Colchester, founded on these and subsequent
Court Rolls and other early Colchester records, will be possible. Many places referred to cannot at
present be exactly identified. Master John's Lane (Mayster jonys lane), p. 228, apparently Pelham's
Lane, is interesting as denoting possibly the place of residence of ]\Iaster John, of Colchester, founder
of St. Helen's chantry.
The personages in this volume are not without interest. Following them up with the help of
the index and of other published and luipublished records, many of them can be brought to life.
In fact a " Who's Who " of medieval Colchester could be produced with results of some value to
genealogists, and to students generally. I have selected a few only of the principal characters
in the hope that others will try their hands at disentangling the records and thus add to the
biographical list. It will be seen that the smallest details often give useful clues and enlightening
particulars, and this illustrates the desirabihty of transcribing these rather voluminous records in
full. Nor could much result be obtained without a full and careful index. On this index much
pains have been bestowed. It is the work of a lady, and I think it is a good one. As Mr. Bagnet
said, " Take a day's march. And you won't find a better. But I never own it before her. Dis-
cipline must be maintained."

WHO'S WHO" OF THE PRINCIPAL PERSONAGES.
THE SHIPMAN.
PETER DE ASTON.— M. P. 16 Edw. IT., Nov. 14,
1322 (York). Bailiff in 1321 (?) 1323 and 13:5. He is pro-
bably identical with Peter le Saltercr, mentioned in the Uath
Book (p. 201) as one of the Bailiffs in 1321-2. There
is no other mention of this " Peter le Saltercr " in any
other record at present known, except this volume, where
we find the wife of " Peter le Salter " presented for selling
beer against the assize (Oct. 4, 1311). Her position in
the list shows that she lived at tlic llytlie. Peter de Aston
had a quay and a tenement at the Hythe (Oath Book, pp.
53 and 206) — paying sixpence a j-ear " service " to the
town for the quay. If he was, as is likely, a " Salter,"
he was also probably a shipman. There is some further
evidence of this in addition to his quay and his residence
at the Hythe. On June 14, 131 1, he, with Alexander
of Mersea and four other jurors were appointed to value
a ship and its tackle, in an action by Richard Le Porceter
against Adam le Orloger of Mersea, who had failed to
dehver the ship to the plaintiff, for good reason that he
(Adam) was only half- owner of it. Peter dc Aston, on
Jan. 8, 1330, was surety for Alexander le Archer, a sailor
on his admission as burgess ; also on Sept. g, 1330, for
two other sailors admitted burgesses, namely John atte
Vanne and John atte Hyde. In the last case one of Peter
de Aston's co-sureties was John Davy, who had previously
been a co-assessor of the Mersea ship with him.
A Little Scandal.
The worst bit of scandal in this book concerns Peter de
Aston's wife_. The story is on pages 16 and 20, andistold, I
think with some gusto, reflecting perhaps the prevalent
feeling in that time against the monastic orders. William
de Hetha, chaplain, otherwise Willelmus Capellanus de
Hethe, or in other words William, a chaplain at the
Hythe (not the parish priest) brought a complaint, on
Jan. 9, 1311, against Roger Carter, that he forcibly entered
the Chaplain's house at the Hythe, and searched there
for Peter de Aston's wife. He even entered the chaplain's
chamber and looked for her there, and accused him ol
keeping her with him, " and of other enormities." The
Chaplain is careful to explain matters, and his explanation,
as given, is curious. He states that he had arranged
with Peter de Aston to support the latter's wnie at his
table for the whole of that \-car, for three marks, that is
for 40s. The Chaplain complains that " on account of
this accusation and defamation " Peter de Aston had
repudiated this singular bargain, so that he (the Chaplain)
had sustained 40s. damages. To which the clerk adds
rather crisply, " Roger denies the whole matter and is
prepared to defend himself by his law." So it was agreed
that the case should come on at the next Lawhundred,
on Jan. iH. Such expeditious law would have been con-
trary to the practice of those days. The case was
"essoined" on Jan. i8, when it was fixed to be heard
a fortnight thence. Meanwhile (on Jan. 11) it had been
recorded that the Chaplain had " put in his place "
Joseph Elyanore against Roger Carter. This means
that he had instructed Joseph Elyanore to act as his
attorney. And Roger Carter it seems went to William
de Sartria (or de Sarcino) (q.v.) who is mentioned as
" Roger Carter's attorney " on Jan. 28 — another evidence
that William de Sartria, though apparently a clothier
and dealer in cloth, also dealt in law. On Peb. i Roger
Carter duly appeared and " did his law," but the case
collapsed. Joseph Elyanore seems to have been in court,
but whether he made any statement is not mentioned.
It is simply announced that it was decided that the said
Roger should be acquitted, and that William the Chaplain,
who apparently was absent, should be " in mercy," mean-
ing I suppose mulct in costs. These were fixed at 5d.,
a fairly large sum then.
A Litigious Lady.
Except as " Peter the Salter's wile. " (Oct. 131 1), we hear
no more of this lady for nearly thirty years. Peter himself
died about 1335 ; his will was proved in 1335-6 {Oath
Book, p. 49). His widow Joan was exccutri.x. On Oct.
i6, 1340, she was in litigation with Sir John Baynard,
Knight. After many adjournments, each of which prob-
ably meant costs, the case came before a jury at the Law-
hundred on Jan. 9, 1341. From the verdict it appears
that Warin atte Welle had also been named as an executor
of Peter de Aston's will and Joan's defence seems to have
been that \\'arin atte Welle should have been defendant
or co-defendant. The jury found that Warin had never
had administration of the goods of the deceased Peter.
A verdict was given therefore in favour of Sir Thomas
Baynard, who was to recover from the widow £•} 6s. 8d.,
and /5 damages, of which Sir Thomas generously (or
diplomatically) gave £1 to " the clerks." The widow was
further ordered to pay 6d. " for the unjust detention."
The lady gave what further trouble she could. On Feb.
26 she had not paid anything — unless it may have been
the sixpence. An order was made for her goods to be dis-
trained to recover the £y 6s. 8d. and the £^ damages.
On April 16 she had not paid, and " it was still ordered
to levy on the goods of Joan Aston as before." A like
order was made on May 28, without result. Probably
the clerks became anxious about their twenty shillings.
On June II the sub-Baililfs, John atte Watere and
Nicholas Waweyn. were ordered to levy the £j 6s. 8d.
on her goods. As this ends the record it would seem that
the money was secured — after nearly nine months of law.
Journey to York.
Peter de Aston left at least two sons, Thomas, whose
will was proved in 1342-3, and John, who died in the
year of the Great Pestilence 1347-8, when his will is
recorded {Oath Book, pp. 53, 55). Probably some of the
lost rolls would have told us more 'about Peter, and his
shipping enterprises at the Hythe. I should like to know
how the representatives of Colchester went to York when
Parliament met there. It was to York that Peter de
Aston and Elias the son of John, went as the Borough
representatives in November, 1322. It is only fancy,
but I like to think that they may have sailed up the
Colne in Peter's barge, " y-cleped the Mawdelayne,"
and along the coast to the Humber and then from the
Humber up the Ouse to York City — and let us hope that
EUas was a good sailor.
THE BARBER-SURGEON.
RICHARD THE BARBER.— M.P. as " Puchard le
Barbor"6Ed%vd. III., Dec. 4. 1332 (York). He was Bailiff
(junior) 1324. Presumably lie was the same Richard le
Barbour who was good enough to stand as a pledge for Simon
Barber (Barbitonsor) pro.secuted by Richard of Layer,
Dec. 20, 131 1 (see also p. 62). This gives me an opportun-
ity of mentioning that the marginal note " Skin damaged "
against the former entry (p. 60) does not mean that Simon
the Barber was charged with damaging the skin of Richard
Legra. It is an intimation (by Mr. Jeayes) that the parch-
ment is here in a bad state and that thus Richard de
Legra's name is illegible. Richard Ic Barbour was probably
a Surgeon-Barber. He seems to have held a good position.
He is at the head of the jury list (May 20, 1312) in a rather
important case of an affray in Colchester market-place.
Also he became pledge for one of the defendants, which
does not seem quite fitting. On March 13, 1312, Richard
le Bart)Our (mentioned first) was one of six specially
reputable burgesses who were pledges for Adam, son of
William Ic Barbour, in a case evidently serious, though
as it was indictable we hear no more about it. There
seems to have been a good professional feeling amongst
the Barbers.
The Brewster Wiyes.
Richard the Barber's wife brewed beer and, like most
ol the other wives ot the town, was fined frequently for
selling it at an illegal price. She lived in the Head Ward.
The ways and wiles of beer-brewing wives are illustrated
by a passage in Piets Plowman {\.d. 1362), Passus 5,
line 21S : —
My wife W.1S ;i wcbbc [weaver], and woollen cloth made ;
I bought lier barley malt, she bycu-t-ii it to sell;
Penny ale and pudding ale she poured together
Tor laborers and for low folk: this [ale] lay by liyinselvc [itself];
The best ale lay in my bower or iu my bed-chamber.
And whoso bunimi'd [tHsted] thereof bought it thercdftcr,
A gallon for a groat, — Cod wot, no less !
(" Penny-ale" was thin ; " pndding-alc" w.rs the stronger quality.)
Richard the Barber is mentioned in 1341 as surrendering
a quay at the Hythe, with houses built upon it. He had
a sister Margerj', who was presented (Jan. 15, 1330),
for putting little benches in the market-place and fi.xing
them in front of her rails there, " to the nuisance of the
passers by." Jtichard the Barber kept sheep, for his
shepherd is mentioned Jan 15, 1330. Other evidence
of his agricultural propensities is that ho had a carter,
who " dug sand in the King's way at Holemere," but was
pardoned (Jan. 20, 1337). Richard le Barbour died in
the First Pestilence, 1348-9. His widow survived and
continued to brew beer and w?.s fined in 1351 for seUing
at three-halfpence a gallon.
A TOWN CLERK.
ROBERT BECHE (or de Beche).— M.P., 29 Edw. III.,
Nov. 12 and 23, 1355 (Westminster). Admitted a burgess
1342-3. An entry on page 229, in reference to a deed of
1350, seems to show that at that date he was Common
Clerk of Colchester. In 1374-5 he is described as " notarj'."
He was evidently a busy man of law. Occasionally he
acted for the Abbot of St. John and he had a tenement
abutting and encroaching on St. John's Green (Onlh Book,
p. 206). He had a " shop," presumably his place of busi-
ness or oltice, " by the gate of the hall of the Commonalty
of Colchester," leased to him in 1349-50 at 6s. 8d. a year —
which sounds to our modern ears an appropriate " rental "
for a lawyer. It is possible that he was son of Robert
the Clerk, but this is a guess with no particular evidence
at present to support it. Possibly he took his surname
from " La Riche," a place in Greenstead Parish, " beyond
the East Gate of Colchester " (i.e. outside the gate) — in
the manorial jurisdiction of the Abbey. This locality,
probably so called from a beech tree or a grove of beech trees,
is often mentioned in the Abbey Cartularv, as is Adam de
La Biche or Adam de La Bichehath (Beech Heath). In
a deed of Dec. 1255, the locaUty is called " la Bych."
John Beche, Bailiff in 1428, 1431, etc., was M.P. in the
reign of Henry \l. and may have been a descendant.
The Beche family was prominent in Colchester to 1552
and probably later. There is nothing however to show
that the famous Thomas Beche (alias Marshall), the
last Abbot of St. John (executed 1539) was of Colchester
origin or family. In 145S-9 there was a Robert Beche
of Colchester, " clerk," very probably descended from
Robert Beche who was admitted burgess in 1342-3. The
will of " Robert Beche, clerk," was proved 1379-80.
There is reason to suppose that he was Common Clerk
(i.e. Town Clerk) up to the time of his death.
THE GAOLER.
ROGER CHAMBERLAYN.— One of the lesser person-
ages, but of interest because of his memorial inscription in
Colchester Castle (see illustration) hitherto an unidentified
memorial which has occasioned some curious theories.
Roger Chamberlayn was admitted a burgess 1347-8.
He seems to have been an ollicer of the Borough
Court, and (subsequently) gaoler, probably gaoler at
the Castle as well as at the Moot Hall gaol. He is

MEMORIAL INSCRIPTION TO R0GP:R CHAMBERLAYX
— ALiAh ROCER THIC GAOLER- AXD MIS WILL, AT
COLCHESTER CASTLl':.
This inscription is carved in one of the original stones of the
Castle, near the niche, regarded as "The Warder's Seat." The
lettering is of the period of Edward III. The inscription has suffered
from time and accidental injury but as nearly as can be deciphered
is as follows: "AL YAT FOR ROGER CHANNBYRLEVN &
FOR HYS WYE GOD YEF HEM AL GODE LYF." (All
that [pray] for Roger Channbyrleyn and for his wife God give
them all good life). See page viii. [opposite).
associated with John Castell or Castclayn, who seems to
have been a " castellan " or warder at Colchester Castle,
and also a Borough Sergeant. Kogor also kept a wine
shop of some kind. About 1350 he had a tenement " in
front of the market," and a stall in front of the
tenement. He (and his successor in these holdings) sold
wine — of course " against the assize."
His wife Elena brewed and sold beer — at the customary
but illegally high price of three-halfpence a gallon. Koger
appears to have died about 1360 and his widow a few
years later. He is called Koger Gaoler from about
1350 onwards and his widow became " Elena Gaoler"
after his decease. Further particulars are in the Essex
Archxological Transactions (published 1921).
I3.33i "P to Michaelmas, 1340. He was then elected Senior
Bailiff. He had been junior Bailiff the year before and
he was again J5ailiff in 1343-4. Whilst Bailiff he does
not figure in the litigation. He reappears in i34'i-6,
but only occasionally. The will of " Robert, son of
William Ic Clerk," was proved 134S-9. Robert le Clerk
acted as surety for Robert Beche (q.v.) Feb. 2R, 1346.
There is some reason to think that l^obcrt le Clerk may
have been son of " William of Colchester," otherwise
William the Clerk and brother of Warin lil. William.
Elsewhere I hazard the guess that he may possibly have
been father of Robert Beche.
LAWYER & M.R
ANOTHER TOWN CLERK.
RICHARD THE CLERK (otherwise Richard Legra.
i.e. " Richard of Layer.") — He appears to have been Town
Clerk of Colchester, responsible for keeping the earlier
Rolls in this volume. He rarely missed a Court up to
about 134S. His name appears in these earlier rolls about
200 times and almost every entry meant, I suppose, a
fee. For it was ordained in 1372, that no fees were to
be paid to the Bailiffs for entries, " but only to the Clerk
lor his labour" [Oath Booh, p. 33). Sometimes Richard
was acting as Common Clerk and on other occasions as
a lawyer. This accounts perhaps for his describing him-
self usually as " Richard Clericus " and in certain cases
as " Richard de Leyre." Occasionally it is " Richard
de Leyre, clerk." or " Richard de Legra, clerk." Perhaps
this meant a double fee. In 1312 he was perhaps only
assistant clerk or deputy clerk (to liis father, William ?)
On April 17, 1312, he took on himself new duties (tem-
porarily). " Richard de Legra, clerk, was admitted and
sworn Serjeant in the place of Richard Pegon, on account
of the hitter's impotence and weakness, to collect the
toll, make arrests, and do other things pertaining to that
olticc, till the said Richard should recover from his illness."
(Richard Pegon died 1334-5) Richard de Legra
triumphantly asserted his authority as Serjeant
and the fact is recorded (perhaps by himself) June 5,
1312 (p. 81). On June 13, 1312, he is called Richard
Clerk de Legra. It is rather interesting to have this
Latin form (Legra) for Layer (near Colchester), as it is
identical with the Domesday spelling. The fact that
Richard Clericus is identical with Richard de Leyre is
corroborated by the entries on p. 87 (July 24, 131 2) about
the killing of Richard's pig in the garden of Roger Alfred.
The will of " John, son and heir of fUchard the Clerk,"
was proved in 1361-2 (the year following the second
Pestilence). Richard himself died, I think, in 134S.
Robert Beche (q.v.) seems to have succeeded him as
Clerk by the year 1351. " Michael Aunger, clerk of the
town," a very remarkable character, was admitted a
burgess in 1378-9. Apparently he succeeded Robert
Beche, whose will was proved in 1379-S0.
A MAN OF LAW.
ROBERT LE CLERK.— A deed in tlie St. John's Abbey
Cni'.ulavy, dated Jan. 133S, refers to lands at Greenstead
then acquired by St.Botolph's Priory from Joseph Elianore,
Kobertus le Clerk de Colecestria, and Sir William Klond
of Layer de la Hayc, chaplain. This seems to mean that
Robert was then " the Clerk of Colchester," but this must
not be assumed too hastily. " De Colecestria " may
have been introduced to distinguish him from another
Robert Clericus of the Abbey. Robert Clericus apjx^ars

WILLIAM THE CLERK.— IM.P. 34 Edw. I., May 3,
1306 (Westminster) ; i Edw. II., Oct. i, 1307 (North-
ampton) ; 3 Edw. II., April 27, 1309 (Westminster) ; 5 Edw.
II., Aug. 8 and Nov. 12, 1311 (London). Bailiff in 1307,
1318 (or thereabouts) and perhaps in 1322. Mentioned
in Court Rolls up to July 17, 1312. On March 14, 1312,
he is called William de Colecester. William Clerk is men-
tioned as one of the members of the Council May 3, 13 11
(p. 34), and on July 14, 131 1 (p. 42). On page 43 (July
26, 131 1), he is attorney for William, vicar of Thorpe,
in an action for recovery of a debt, and on p. 45 is attorney
in another case. On Nov. 29, 13 11, he was fined, with
John de la Forde and John Lotun, for not coming, as
.summoned, to tax the goods of John Aj'Uet, a miliar.
On April 3, 131 2, he is attorney (with Simon Toche) for
the Prior of Colnc. On Apr. 17, 1312, he seems to be
acting for the Prior of St. Botolph. On May 30, 1312,
he is attorney for the Prior of Mersea.
In the First Pestilence (1348-9) the wills were proved
of Robert, son of William le Clerk, and Richard son of
William le Clerk. Warin fil. WiUelmi (q.v.) is described
in an important writ (p. 20) as son of William de Colecestria
(Feb. 15, 131 1). William the Clerk is so described, as
already stated, on page 69. It is poss;bl ■, therefore,
that Warin fil. Willelnu was son of William the Clerk, and
that Richard the Clerk (q.v.) and Robert the Clerk were
brothers of Warin.
"IN THE KING'S SERVICE."
JOSEPH ELIANORE (also spelt Elyanore, Alyanore,
Aliakore, etc.). — M.P. 4 Edward III., Nov. 26, 1330
(Westminster) ; 6 Edward HI., Sept. 9, 1332 (West-
minster) ; II Edward III., Sept. 26, 1337 (Westminster) ;
and 12 and 13 Edward HI., Jan. 14. 1339 and Feb. 3,
1339 (Westminster). He was (I think) at least seven
times Bailiff of Colchester, 1310 (as Joseph Clerk), 1328,
1329, 1330, 1331, 1338, 1342. Probably the most notable
townsman of his time, and one of the wealthiest. He is
sometimes called Joseph Clerk and (twice) on page 104
(April 23, 1330) " Joseph de Colccestre, clerk." His
name appears more frequently than any other in these
Court Rolls, except perhaps Richard the Clerk, ahas Richard
de Legra. There is a remarkable entry on page 23 (Feb.
2(, 131 1) where " Joseph Elyanor " is described as being
in the " service of the Lord Iving " (qui est in servicio
domini regis). He seems to have been (in Dec. 1312)
— see p. 61 — steward or bailiff of Master John of Colchester,
afterwards rector of Tendring, a man of property, who
founded a chantry in St. Helen's Chapel in 1322 and who
died in 1327-8. Joseph Elianore is one of the ten import-
ant personages mentioned [Oath Look, p. 201) as witnessing
the deed of dedication and endowment in London on Jan.
17, 1322. Jo.sejili Elianore was no doubt a lawyer, though
he may have pursued other avocations. He lived near
"the Tannery" in Colchester, but this is not precisely
identified.
A Busy Man.
As we have seen Joseph Elianore is mentioned once
as being " in the King's service." This may mean only
that he was not present personally on that occasion in
court (Feb. 24, 1311) to essoin his client, and that his
absence was condoned because he was away on some
important official business for the State. There are
several notable breaks in his otherwise regular appearances
in the courts, due apparently to absence from Colchester
or to illness. Joseph Elianore's litigation on his own
behalf and on behalf of clients was very considerable.
He seems to have had trouble in recovering debts against
him and resorted to a mctliod which was in favour in those
days — seizing property belonging to his creditors. They
would sometimes (apparently) retaliate by seizing his
property. Then followed actions for " unjust detention,"
and sometimes Joseph Elianore lost the day. His public
work as a member of the Common Council was continuous.
His name appears in a great variety of matters. As a
comparatively young man, when Bailiff in 1318, he with
his friends, Elias Fitz John and Hubert of Colchester,
and nine others forming a jur>', drew up articles against
the Abbot of St. John for various encroachments on
town properties and rights {Red Paper Book, p. 4,5).
Twenty years later, when again Bailiff, he was concerned
in drawing up terms of agreement with the Abbot to settle
longstanding " discords, contentions and demands,"
with the result that peace was established, at any rate,
for a time.
There is no record of Joseph Elianore's death and
no mention of his will, which was perhaps proved
elsewhere. He discyipcars from view on Oct. 2, 1346,
but the Court Rolls for the four following years are lost.
He was probably dead in 1351. No mention of him
occurs in the rolls for that year or subsequent years.
His Chantry.
Joseph Elianore himself founded a chantry in the church
of St. Mary-at-the-Walls, Colchester, and we may there-
fore suppose that he probably lived in that parish. He
founded this chantry in February, 1348, the time of the
Great Pestilence, and endowed it very richly with
properties partly outside the town but mainly scattered
about Colchester (and largely in St. Mary's parish). It
was endowed for the benefit of two chaplains, to pray for
the souls of his father and mother " and the souls of
Philippa, John, Ilubert, and Elias, and all my benefactors."
It was the wealthiest chantry in Colchester. The names
are interesting. PhiHppa may have been his wife, but
there is no record of this, though there is evidence that
Joseph was married, for in the wills recorded at Colchester
in 1348-9 (after the endowment) is that of " Peter, son of
Joseph Elianore." John, Hubert, and Elias seem to mean
John of Colchester, Hubert of Colchester, and Elias Fitz
John Elys (q.v.) These were all wealthy men who had
presumably been his patrons.
Grammar School Endowments.
Colchester Royal Grammar School owes its e.xistence to
the pious generosity of Joseph Elianore and his friend
and patron John of Colchester, rector of Tendring. In
1538 Henry \TII. granted the estates of the Elianore
Chantry and of St. Helen's Chapel Chantry to found this
school.. The present endowments consist of properties
which can be clearly identilied as possessions which Joseph
Ehanore conferred on his chantry in St. Mary's Church
in Feb. 1348. Unfortunately the Colchester Council
appropriated a large portion of these properties, squander-
ing some and disposing of others. The Elianore estates
still bring in about /400 a year to the School. Had they
been fully conserved for that purpose the school income
would have been several times that amount.
A FARMER (?) WHO LIVED AT
SCHEREGATE.
■WILLIAM DE LA FERMERYE.— M.P. 25 Edward
III., Jan. 13, 1352 (Westminster) (recorded on the roll of
Parliament as " William Fermory "). Bailill, 1351. He
appears in the Court Rolls as William de la Fermcrye (p.
218), William Fermerye (p. 219), William Fermery (p. 226).
Possibly he was son of Walter de Firmaria, admitted as
burgess Nov. 16, 1310, also called Walter de la Fermerie
(Oct. 2, 1329), Walter de Firmare (Oct. 4, 1333) and
Walter de Firimare (May 30, 1334). " Firmarius "
means "farmer," but "farmer" in medieval times
did not mean necessarily an agriculturist. In Colchester
there was a farmer of the tolls and other town dues (see
page 3). There were also farmers of the various mills
in the town (p. 158). There is not much to show that
William de la Fermerye (William of the Farm) was a
farmer of any kind. He ha.d an action against John Baker
in 1352, which lie settled, but the cause of action is not
disclosed. His house was at Scheregate, not far from
St. John's .-Vbhey. He had a quay at the Hythe, rental
1 2d. {Oalh Book, p. 206) and a plot of land at the Hythe
(lb.) ; also a stall in the market place (lb., p. 213). His
first wife Margaret or Margery, died in the First Pestilence
(will proved 1348-9), He left a widow named Joan,
who was tenant of the quay after his death. He died in
the Second Pestilence (will proved 1361). His residence,
his quay at the Hythe, and his stall in the market are not
inconsistent with his having been a farmer or miller.
Moreover on Jan. 18, 1361, he v.'as essoigned " (ff comniinii"
(for making excessive or exceptional use of common
lands). His wife, residing in Head Ward (this would
apply to Scheregate) was fined on the same date for selling
beer contrary to the assize.
MAN OF MANY PARLIAMENTS.
ELIAS FITZ JOHN (12O0?— 1330?) He and Hubert
of Colchester \\ere the first representatives of the
Borough in Parliament — at the " Model Parliament,"
summoned for Nov. 27, 1295. Elias was afterwards
Borough representative in more than a dozen other event-
ful parliaments: i\Iay 1298 (York) ; Jan. 1301 (Lincoln) ;
Feb. 1305 (Westminster) ; June 1307 (Carlisle) ; July
8, 1313 (Westminster) ; Sept. 23, 1313 (Westminster) ;
Jan. 1315 (Westminster) ; May 1319 (York) ; Oct.
1320 (\Vestminster) ; Nov. 1322 (York) ; Jan. and F^eb.
1324 (Westminster) ; Dec. 1326, Jan. 1327 (Westminster) ;
and Feb. 1328 (York) ; and July 31. 1328 (York). What
a diary he might have left • He saw Edward I. at the
height of his glury, and in 1307 (at Carlisle), when the
King had only a few more days to hve. He saw the
degenerate Edward II. and the partial reconciliation
between him and the angry barons in 1313 ; and he was
present in two parliaments of the Third Edward. He
must have seen and heard most of the prominent per-
sonages of that stormy period. His full name as recorded
in the roll of parliament, 1301, was Elias filius Johannis
Elys, that is Elias son of John, son of Elias.
His Lineage.
With the help of the Cartulary of St. John's Abbey and
other records we can trace his lineage back to a certain
Turstan (otherAvise Thurstan or Turstein) born about the
time of Rjchard I. (1289-1299). Turstan seems to have died
about 1230, and his widow, Avelina married " John
Vicecomes de Colecestre," a mysterious personage, who
perhaps inherited his surname (if it may be so called)
from John Vicecomes (Sheriff or Portreeve) of Colchester,
mentioned about 11 50. About 1240 Avehna, widow of
Turstan and then wife of " Johannes Vicecomes," granted
1 2d. a year for tlie more abundant manitenancc of tlic
Abbot of St. John's kitchen, and secondarily for tlic
benciit of the souls of the deceased Turstan (" doniinus
nieus ") and his son Bernard. The first witness to her
deed of grant is " Elyas, my son and heir, who hkewise
has also granted it." This Klias filius Turstani is fre-
quently mentioned in the Cartulary as witnessing Abbey
deeds between 1230 and 1250. He had at least two sons,
Jolm and Oliver. Oliver is mentioned first in a deed
which they both witnessed in 1255, but this does not
prove that Oliver was the elder son. The record states :
" Oliver fil F.lye and John his brother." Both witnessed
other deeds sometimes jointly. Possibly John died in
early manhood. He was presumably father of Elias lilius
Johannis. Oliver fd. Elye was the lattcr's uncle. The names
Oliver fil. Elye and Oliver Elys (the same person apparently)
appear in these Court Kolls, 131 1 and 1312, Oliver being
each time accused of acts of viuknce and fined. He was
perhaps son of the Oliver fil. Elye who witnes.^ed a deed
some fifty-si.K years earlier. It is remotely possible
he was the same individual, though if so he would have
been about eighty years old. The " assaults " alleged
against Oliver in 1312 seem to have been the outcome
of family or political feuds, and were perhaps the work
of Oliver's servants or retainers (see p. 6g). There is
no reference to Oliver, nor to his .son William after 1312.
Isabella Elys (p. 67) for whom Elias til. Johannis stood
surety in Feb. 13 12, when she settled a dispute about
a sow, was presumably a relative.
A Zealous Townsman.
Elias fil. Johannis seems to have been a dignified person-
age. He is called a "clerk" (p. 67) meaning probably a
man of law. He was jealous for the rights of Cold. ester.
As a young man he took strong action against the Abbot of
St. Osyth (May 1302), seizing the Abbot's cattle at Miland,
Colchester, because the Abbot had unjustly levied tolls on
Colchester burgesses at St. Osyth Fair {!\ed Pcipry Book,
PP- 34-5).
Though Elias and Hubert of Colchester were col-
leagues in ParUament in 1295, in 13 10 they were at
variance. Hubert held of the Council a field called La
Hyde, and had agreed to pay a pound of cummin each
year, but had failed to do so for five years. Elias, to
vindicate the public rights, seized Hubert's mare. Hubert
retaliated by seizing EUas's callle (I"eb. 15, 131 1). It
would appear that Elias and Nicholas Ic Ciros were in
alliance and that Hubert and Kichard le Longe were at
times in combination. Margaret was " daughter and
heir " of Elias Fitz John (p. 153). Elias was dead in
1337 and had probably died several years earlier.
" Matilda Elys " mentioned on p. 204 (134O), is presum-
ably another of the family. Elias lilius Johannis
was Bailiff in 1298 (?), 1302, 1303, 130S (?), 1313, and
1314, but not, I think, in 1276, as included in some lists.
A MAN OF PROPERTY.
JOHN LANSELE (or de Lanshi.i:).— Admitted a
burgess 1334-5. He was a man of property, but took no part
apparently in local government. He had a tenement
in the Head Ward and also was tenant of land " on the
common river bank." He is of interest as probably
his dweUing, with considerable grounds, stood in Trinity
Street, where in later (Tudor) times " Tymjierleys " the
birthplace of the famous Dr. William Gilbert!, was built.
" Tymperleys " was "anciently called Lanseleys alias
Lawsells " (deed of 1687). It is likely that this name
came from John Lansele or de Lanscle and incidentally
it may be assumed that this name was pronounced
" Launceley." Subsequently this famous " capitall
messuage " was called " Stampes " because it came
into possession of one Thomas Stampe. Roger Tymperlcy
married Alice Stampe, sister and heir of Thomas and then
the house became Tymperleys — its present name. Morant
speaks of its earliest name as Lanseles. John Lan.sele's
doings as recorded in these Court Kolls are of no special
interest. He died in the Great Pestilence of 1348, his
will being proved 1348-9. Litigation which he commenced
against Warin atte Welle and William de Hadleigh on
May 10, 1346, seems to have been dragging on at the time
of liis death, and it was still unsettled Oct. 4, 1351. " The
heirs of John Lansele " are mentioned in the Oatli Book,
p. 212. They paid 4d. a year for what is called John
de Lansele's " paling [in the Head Ward] in front of
Walter Rompour's tenement," which means I think,
Walter le Trumpour's, for this personage had a tenement
in 1337, opposite to the house ne.\t to Scheregate, and
this might have been adjoining " Lanseles," now Tymper-
levs, in Trinity Street. The expression " heirs of John
Lansele " suggests that he left no children as direct heirs.
No one else of his name is mentioned in any Colchester
records as far as I can ascertain.
A FULLER ?
RALPH ODE (or Oude).— M.P. 8 Edw. HI., Feb. 21,
1334 (York). Bailiff, 1307 ? (possibly, however, this
was his father), 1320, 1333, 1334, 1338- He (or his
father ?) was one of the Council, fourth on the list,
in 1 31 1 (p. 34). Kalph Ode's wife sold beer against
the Assize (Oct. 4, 131 1), but this is perhaps mother
of the M.P. Ralph Ode, the Bailiff, seems to
have been a fuller (see April 24, 1346), but he was not
identical with " Ralph Fuller," for the latter was alive
in 1352, whereas Ralph Ode died in the First Pestilence
in 134S. His son and heir was John Ode and is so
described in a deed dated Jan. 25, 1361 — possibly John
Ode of Mile End (1334, etc.) " Dominus John Ode"
mentioned in these Rolls is probably identical with John
Ode, parson of Colnc Engainc (March 18, 1357). The
name Ode was, no doubt, ijronounced " Ody " and is so
spelt in the ne.xt century, 'fhe name seems to be " Odo "
abbreviated — or to be from the same source. The Ode
family flourished for centuries in Colchester and perhaps
still exists under the name Oddy.
MEMBER OF TWELVE PARLIA-
MENTS.
JOHN DE PARLES.— M.P. 7 Edw. H., July 8, 1313
(Westminster) ; 12 Edw. VI., Oct. 20, 1318 (York) ;
1.5 Edw. XL, May 2, 1322 (York) ; 2 Edw. III., I'-eb. 7,
1328 (York) ; 8 Edw. III., Sept. 19, 1334 (Westminster) ;
9 Edw. III., May 26, 1335 (York) ; 10 Edw. III., March
". 1336 (Westminster) ; 10 Edw. HI., Sept. 23, 1336
(Nottingham) ; 12 and 13 Edw. HI., Jan. 14, 1339 and
Feb. 3, 1339 (Westminster) ; 13 Edw. III., Oct. 13, 1339
(Westminster) ; iS Edw. III., June 7, 1344 (Westmin-
ster) ; 21 Edw. HI., Jan 14, 1348 (Westminster). Twelve
Parliaments in all and possibly more, as the Returns for
several between 1313 and 1348 are lost. One might
almost imagine that this was how he came by his surname,
but such a derivation would be incorrect. " Paries," pro-
nounced as two syllables, is probably from an ancient
personal name, " Perlo " (Domesday T.R.E.), afterwards
" Pcrles." John de Perles never seems to have been
Bailiff of Colchseter. He was one of the Council in 131 1.
He may have been a lawyer. In Oct. 1311, he is men-
tioned as an executor, with Edmund le Chaloner,
of the will of William le Chaloner. He was in
litigation with Robert Longe about this estate, or rather
about seven sliillings allegeci to be due from Robert Longe,
iiiiil <iiiii|iniMii;.(il fur .-s. Oil. (Ixb. .'8, 1312). He seems
to liavc been a friend ol William dc Phimbtcd, and he
also stood as a pledge for the Abbot of St. John (Dec.
25, 1321)), and for the Abbot of St. Osyth (May 30, 1334).
His will is recorded in the year of the First Pestilence,
134S, but he may have died in 1347. Another John Paries
turns up in Nov. 25, 1351 ; and there is mention of Robert
Paries (131 2) and William Paries, the latter probably
a mistake for John ; also Robert Parlys (July 23, 1352).
A CLERIC=LAWYER ?
WILLIAM DE PLUMSTED.— M.P. for Colchester, Jan.
30, 1301 (Lincoln), and again on A\ig. S, 131 1 (London),
on the latter occasion with William the Clerk as colleague.
He and his parliamentary colleague of 1301, Elias fil,
Johannis, were elected, by a " full assembly of the
burgesses " in 131 1 to reply to the Bishop of London in the
King's Council about tolls, and were given rather full discre-
tionary powers. His is the first name on a Jury which (Oct.
4, 131 1) condemned l?obcrt de Neyland for raising hue un-
justly on himself (\\'illiam de Plumsted) " for distraining
on the said Robert in a stall which he held of him." It
is curious that another member of the same Jury (Robert
Olyver) was also personally involved and interested in
a presentment made.
William de Plumsted seems to have believed in looking
after himself. V.'hcn he brought an action against Gilbert
the Thatcher of lioxted for breach of covenant, he dis-
trained C.ilbert by seizing his trade tools, and then insisted
on further distraint being made. In 131 2 he had an action
against Philip de la Rokele for debt, and a cross action
was brought by Philip. William de Plumsted distrained
Pliilip " by the great distraint," and seized a wooilen cloth
of russet, but William being still unsatisfied, further
distraints were ordered. He was never PaililT and he
disappears from the Records in 1312. Presumably
he came from or was associated with Plunistcad in Kent,
■a very ancient place, which had an Augustinian Abbey
said to date from Saxon limes. Was William a cleric,
who had become, as clerics did in those day-', a law\cr ?
ANOTHER PARLIAMENTARIAN.
JOHN DE RATLESDEN.— M.P. in seventeen parlia-
ments of Edward III., between April 24, 1328 and April 23,
1341. He seems to have been a lawyer. He acted for the
Abbot of St. John in Dec. 1329, and the record shows that
tlic Abbot succeeded in this litigation. John de Ratlesdcn
was one of the witnes.scs to the " deed of Release. " He
had a " grove " at Mile End, the northern suburb of Col-
chester (p. iiS). He was constantly a pledge for litigants
and for newly admitted burgesses. He gives the impres-
sion of being a most " respectable " personage, but he was
never Bailiff — perhaps because he was so busy as M.P.,
and as a laivyer in the Courts. He died in the First
Pestilence, 134S-9.
"WILLIAM
OF THE
SHOP."
TAILORING
WILLIAM DE SARTRIA (or ni- Sakcino [?de Sartrino],
de Sarterc, etc.). A puzzling personage. His name means
" William of the tailoring >hop," and as on April 17, 1312,
the Council granted him the tenancy of " a stall newly
constructed for sale of woollen cloth," at a rent of 4s. a
year, he was probably in the clothing trade. Vet he
seems to have been a sort of clerk of the court, and if not
actually a man of law he was frequently acting on behalf
litigants as their attorney. For instance in the curious
case which William the Chaplain brought against Roger
Carter, Jan. 9, 131 1, William de Sartria, though he originally
stood as surety for the Chaplain, was afterwards repre-
senting Roger {he Carter. In fact he is called " attorney
of Roger Carter " (p. 17). At the same court it is staled
that Alexander de Cobet puts in his place " William dc
Sarcino " (the same man) against John Oldeman. He
again acted for Roger C;trter, on April 21, 1311. In the
St. John's Cartulary " de Sartrino " is a frequent cog-
nomen or surname — see ^Valter, Elyas and Stephen
all described on p. 282 as " famulis de Sartrino " (servants
of the tailoring sihop) and constantly reappearing as
Walter de Sartrino, Elyas de Sartrino, and Stephen
de Sartrino. There arc also Geoffrey de Sartrino (p. 330)
and others of similar name, evidently tailors in the tailor-
ing shop of the Abbey.
On Oct. 6, 1310 (see page 3) Henry Seffar and
W'llham de Sarcino were jointly and severally ap-
pointed " farmers " of the town toUs and agreed to
P'ly ^35 for the year. On Dec. 17, 1311, Henry Seffar was
appointed singly to the office of " farmer " and " William
de Sartria " was one of his sureties. At this time William
de Sartria was junior Bailiff. He was a leading member
of the Council, see the lists of May 3, 1311, and July 14,
1311. On March 19, 1330, he is mentioned as executor
of the will of John Maymund. This is his last appearance
in the extant Court Rolls. From the Oa/h Book (pp.
202 and 211) we learn that he owned for a time three
shops and a curtilage in East Street, beyond East Bridge,
paying the Commonalty 6d. a year for them, this payment
being apparently a ta.x on the property for the improve-
ment of East Bridge. He sold this property to William
at Sloo of Ardleigh, whose will was proved May 12, 1337
(see p. 15S). Sartry and Sartryn were both in use in the
15th century as English words meaning a tailor's workshop.
INNKEEPER AND M.P.
MATTHEW LE VERRER (other\vise M.\tthew
Gl.\zier, M.\TTiirius \'itki.\rius, and M.\ttiieus iil
RoBEKTi).— M.P. (with Ralph Ode) 8 Edw. III., Feb. 21,
1334 (York) ; 12 Edw. HI., Feb. 3, 1338 (Westminster). He
was Bailiff 1313, 1332, 1337, 1349, 1351. A member of the
Council in 1310-11. There seems no doubt of his identity
with " Matthew the son of Robert " (see page 228).
Robert le Verrcr (his father ?) is said to have been Bailiff
in 129S, but this is not certain. Matthew Verrer does
not seem to have been a glazier, though his father may
have been. Matthew kept a tavern in the JIarket Place.
He seems to have been a good fellow. In Nov. 1310,
he stood as a pled.ge for Walter the Taverner, charged
with bu)'ing 59 gallons of stinking wine, " to the scandal
of the town," but acquitted of that enormity. He often
stood bail for other persons, sometimes apparently out
of good fellowship. Matthew \'errer's wife did the brewing
-—like the other Colchester wives. She was presented
and fined at the Law-hundred of Oct. 4, 1311, for selling
a gallon of bier for a penny, but whether this was too
much or too little is not clear. The other women seem
to have been fined at the same court for selling at 2d.,
which was no doubt too much. Matthew seems to have
been related to John Loton (whose will and that of his
widow, Alice, were proved, 1351-2). John Loton and
Matthew Verrer were fined 2s. each Oct. 4, 1311, for selling
[wine] with unsealed measures, namely " Choppcs,"
— which probably means "cups." On April 17, 1312,
he was fined again, with five other vintners, for " selling
for fivepcnce." Matthew Verrer's tenement was in St.
Kunwald's parish and was hired of the wealthy John of
Colchester (afterwards parson of Tendring). The rent
must have been considerable, for 1 2S. a year out of it was
allocated by John of Colchester as part of the endowment
of St. Helen's Chapel (Jan. 17, 1322). John Clerk, a
weaver, had a tenement near by. Matthew Verrer died
about 135S, and his will was proved 1358-9. His wife's
name was Agnes (p. 134). His son John married Joan,
daughter of John the Dyer, one of the wealthiest inhabit-
ants of the town, whose will was jirovcd March 5, 1330.

(Westmipbtcr) ; t.\ Edw. III., March 29, 1340 (West-
minster). He was Hailitf in 1339. A very prominent
member of the Council ; continually acting as a " pledge "
for litigants and others. Ho was himself in litigation (as
was Adam attc Welle) in 1337 with Saer the Lorimcr,
apparently a maker of harness, saddles, bits, etc., who
was being sued by other peoi^le for debt at this time.
Saher came to terms with Warin atte Welle June 23,
1337. Warin atte Welle's wife was lined for selling beer
against the assize, on Oct. 4, 1333. again in Jan. 1334,
and in May 1334, and at other courts 1345, etc.
A Wealthy Widow.
Waiin atte Welle lived in the Market Place, that is
in High Street probably on the north side near the site
of the present George Hotel. On May 22, 1346, he made
fine for a lease under the Common Seal of " his stall
opposite his tenement in the market place." Warin's wife
is called " Juliana Gray." She died in the h'irst Pestilence
(1348) and by her will bequeathed to her husband for his
life-time, 6 acres of land called Sabares Land, in the field
called Munkedoune, and other parcels of land in the suburbs
of Colchester. (Red Pa[ier Book, p. 69.) In the Court
Koll her will is mentioned as that of " Juliana Gray."
Apparently she was widow of William Gray, a member
of the Council in 1311. William C;ray was alive on Nov.
27, 1329. Warin atte Welle must have married the widow
between 1330 and 1333. As early as 1312 she seems to
have had independent means (.sec June 26, 1312). She
appeared in the list of offending beer-sellers as wile of
William Gray on Oct. 4, 131 1, and on Jan. 15, 1330,
as " Juliana Gray." (The Rolls from 1312 to 1329 are
lost.) She was one of the eleven greater <iflenders
on Jan. 15, 1330, who had sold beer at the exorbitant
price of 2d. per gallon. In Oct. 1329 " Juliana
Gray " was further presented, with three nun vintners,
for " selling wine against the assize." She must
have kept one of the leading taverns in the town,
I think. She was not a young woman when Warin
atte Welle married her, and probably she was well-to-do.
A Man of Property.
Warin atte Welle was fond of possessions. In 1331-2 he
secured a lease of a strip of land 9ft. by 6ft. on the South side
of St. Uunwald's church, which then stood in the middle of
High Street. In 1348-9 he got hold of another piece
(30ft. by about -zolt.) near North Bridge. He also had
a plot of land for which ho paid the Council 4d. a year,
" near St. Helen's Well." Was it on account of this
that he was called " Warin atte Welle " ? It is not easy
to locate St. Helen's Well though it is fretiuently men-
tioned and was probably near or in High Street — perhaps
between the street and St. Helen's Chapel. Warin atte
Welle was named as an executor in the will of Peter de
Aston — see litigation Jan. 9, 1341. Warin left the
administration to Joan — Peter's widow, a lady of doubt-
ful reputation (sec Peter de Aston). With all the records
of his doings there is nothing to show what his trade was.
He once, if not oftener, overloaded the common. This
and the fact of his action against Saer the Lorimer may
suggest that he dealt in leather, but this is mere con-
jecture. Warin atte Welle apparently only survived his
wife a few months. He died in the time of the First
Pestilence, apparently in 1349 (Red Paper B-oli, p. 57).

1332 (Westminster). He was Bailiff 1302, 1310, 1312,
1315, 1316, 1318, 1323, 1324, 1325, 1329, 1330, 1331,
'33^. 1333. 1331- This notable personage was probably
son of \Villiani of Colchester, otherwise William the
Clerk (q.v,), described March 13, 1312, as "clerk" (p.
69). There can be little doubt that Warin hi. William is
identical with " Warin Cotle," returned on the Rolls of
Parliament as one of the members for Colchester, Oct.
6, 1320. But it must not be presumed that " Code "
was his surname and his father's. " Code " is more prob-
ably a transcriber's mistake for " Colcc," meaning " of
Colchester." In the Red Paper Boo/t, fo. 223 (page 74
of Printed Version) is an entry (wrongly cited by Harrod
as from Red Parchiiieiil Book) referring to an ordinance
made as to the price of wine in loth Edward I. (12S1)
in the time of " fil. \\'illiani and Adam de Castro."
Mr. Rickword in his valuable list. Bailiffs and Mayors,
has entered this as " (Warin) fil. William," but it seems
unlikely that this was so (unless there were two men so
named) for " Warin iil. William " is recorded to have died
about 1335-6 — fifty-six years later — his will being proved
in that year. His widow, Alice, died in 134S. His parent-
age is set forth Feb. 13, 131 1 (p. 21) — "Warin fiUus
WiUelmi, son of William de Coleccstria."
A Friend of Joseph Elyanore.
Warin seems to have been much associatcil with
Joseph Elianore, as Baililf and in other ways. He pos-
sessed many properties in Colchester and had a tenement
in the market place (High Street) (and was owner of
a shop there (June 23, 1337). On Feb. 28, 1346, mention
is made of a tenement in Culver Lane, abutting on " the
late Warin fil. William's curtilage." This may denote
that Warin fil. William's tenement in High Street was
on the South side. He also had land at " Schrebbefield "
(Shrub End) (Oath Book, p. 213). Adam Mtz Warin
of Colchester, otherwise Adam Waryii (Bailifi in 135S*),
who died in 1380-1, may have been Warin Fitz William's
son. It is probable that many other Wariiis who are
mentioned were his descendants. " John Waryn, sen.,"
Bailiff 1344-5, who had a house next to Scheregate, was
probably another son, for in 1348-9 the will was proved
of " John fil. Warin fil. William," and at the same court
(this was the year of Pestilence) occur the wills of Sarah
Waryn, Thos. Waryn, Joan relict of Thomas Waryn, and
Alice " relict of Warin fil. William" — all mentioned together,
and all evidently of the same family. (Oatit Book, p. 57.)

it is not lawful to do the said law, for which bail was found, except with co-burges?es of that
Borough ; and the same Walter, according to the said custom, did not come to do his law.
Therefore he asks for judgment concerning himself and his law.

of that Borough, did rot come in that way, it was considered that he had failed to do his law,
and that the said William should recover his damages of half a mark, and the said Walter

Mundes as she complained of him, to the loss of half a mark, as is written above, it was
considered that the said Alice should recover her loss — 5s/;., and that the said Ralph be in "good
mercy " [bona misericordia] .

paid into Court 8i., Alice granting that he should pay the remaining i6(/., the half on the Feast
of Purification, and half on Ash Wednesday [caput Jejunii Quadragesime] , by pledges, Rogei
PriJle and John le Wolef.
Because it was found by enquiry that it was not by consent or at the instigation of Juliana

[FISH FOR THE ABBOT.— ALLEGED FORESTALLING,]
John Propffete (sic) was charged by the Bailiffs and Commonalty that he ought to have
bought a load of fish in Colchester Market on Wednesday after Feast of St. Agatha [loth Feb.]
for the use of the Abbot and Convent of St. John, Colchester, and that cheating the Commonalty
he sold it to a stranger from West Hertford and thus was guilty of forestalling. Afterwards it
was found by his ackaowledgment that he did not supply the same fish for the said Abbot's
use.
The same John denies it and says that Robert Virly, his lad, bought it at Aldeburgh and
sold it as he best could, without cheat or loss to the Commonalty, and committed no forestalling
as was imputed to him, and submits himself to an enquiry. An enquiry is therefore summoned
against the next Saturday.
The same John was also charged on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday [21st Feb.] in
respect of a parcel of fish called conger, which certain Burgesses ought to have supplied for
their use and the use of the rest of the Burgesses.

Proffete is not guilty of the things which he is charged with above, and it is considered tiiat the
said John may be acquitted.

and says that he ought not to pay toll, and says that he has a charter of our Lord the King,
for himself and his heirs, demonstrating that he is free of paying toll here and everywhere

a day is given at the next Lawehundred after Hokeday next following to show the said charter,
if it should seem expedient to him, and to consult then upon it. And meanwhile it was granted

a certain tenement which the said Geoffrey held in Grensted, and which he had by grant and
feoffment of the same John, and he detained the said cow so tliat the said Matilda could not
have it until by the Bailiffs of the liberty of Colchester, etc. The said John came and acknowledged
that he took the cow because he thought that he had a right to do it, but as it was found by
the acknowledgment of the same that no heriot had ever been demanded nor given from that
tenement, because it is a burgage, by the advice and assent of Richard de Teya or of the Prior
of St. Botolph of Colchester, whose tenant the same John is, tlie said John came into Court
and withdrew from the said complaint, acknowledging that he had made the same distraint
imjustly. He was therefore in mercy, and the said Matilda might go, sine die. Pledges, John

[QUESTIONS OF JURISDICTION.]
William de Whflhmersch, mtrcliant, attached to reply to Philip de la Rokele in a complaint
that whereas they are partners in a business of wool and woollen cloth when the merch.indise and
profits were balanced on the day of St. Osith in the fair there, the same William was found to owe
William a hundred shillings, and though he promised to pay the same in the churcii of St. Ronwald,
Colchester, on the Wednesday after the balance, yet he did not do so and still detains the money,
to the loss of the said Philip of ^osh.
The said William defends and says that he ought not to answer the charge as, according to
English and Common law, no one is allowed to hold a plea of debt where the sum exceeds 405/^.
without special order of the King by writ ; and the demand of this debt exceeding that sum the
Court in which he is attached cannot be recognised, and so it seems to them that he is not bound
to reply. He therefore seeks judgment and on this it is proposed to procure the King's writ
(hereto annexed). And because it was found that in cases between various parties on many
occasions, by record of this Court, pleas of debts exceeding the sum of 405/;. and even reaching
the sum of ^10 have been heard and decided, and so acknowledgment in similar cases of pleas
of this sort has been usual it is considered that the King's writ, which it is proposed to procure,
does not prevent him from replying to the demand. The said William sees that he cannot
3 escape responsibility for the said debt, and puts forward another writ of the King which forbids
anyone distraining anyone by his own power and temporary bailiwick, for agreements, contracts
or trespasses committed outside his own power or bailiwick without special authority of our Lord
the King for it, etc. And he says that because the aforesaid valuation by which that debt is
demanded was made outside the power of the Bailiffs of the said Court in the said plea, he
is not held to reply to the same debt due to the same Philip. And because the said BaiiifTs of
the said Court cannot proceed further on account of the said King's writ, a day was given to
the parties to the next Hundred, viz., the Feast of St. Dunstan, to hear judgment, etc.

On Friday, the 14TH May, in the 4TH year of King Edward [131 i], in full assembly of the
Burgesses of Colchester, among other matters concerning the liberty of the town, there was
treated the business of the Bishop of London in the following form.
Whereas on the suggestion of the Venerable Father Ralph de Baudake, Bishop of London,
our Lord the King by his writ to the Bailiffs of the said Borough had prohibited the said
Bishop (or his men who came from Chelmerford and Braunketree with their goods and merchandize
to the said Borough) from being distrained on there for payment of toll, saying that the said
Bishop and his predecessors. Bishops of London, and their men from the said towns, ought and
were accustomed to be acquitted of paying toll for their goods and merchandize through the
whole of- tlie Kingdom of England, and upon this had issued his writ as is aforesaid, that they
should entirely desist from these distraints made by the same on that account, or show cause
why they did not obey the mandate of our said Lord the King ; it was by agreement ordained
that cause should be shown to the King by the Bailiffs in name of the Commonalty under this
form. That the said Bishop and his predecessors and also their men from the abovesaid towns
coming with their merchandize, etc., to the said Borough, from time immemorial before the making

of he charters of the K.ngs of England whereby they claim to be exempt from the payment
of toll, and on and after the making of those charters, they have paid toll always up to the
present; adding, however, concerning things which are sprung and grown from the fee of the
said Bishop belongin.,^ to their church of St. Paul's, London, they, are by no means distrained
on for paying toll, but are allowed to go quit of it all together.
Elyas fil. Johannis and William de Plumsted were ordered and elected to carry and make
tha reply in the _ King's Court; so, however, that the said King's Court, concerning the same
reply, shonid advise whether they conld, if it should be necessary, allege such avowal a. is
premised by pleading or not. And if it should be found that a reply of this kind will avail for
demanding toll then the collectors of Toll in Colche.ster should distrain the same Bishop and his
men to pay toll in the manner abovesaid. And if it shonid not avail, that they shonid altogether
desist and abstain from such demand and distraint in as cautions a manner as they could.
